Abstract Farming is cultivating the soil, producing crops, and keeping livestock. The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in a country’s economic growth. This research proposes a two-stage machine learning framework for agriculture to improve efficiency and increase crop yield. In the first stage, machine learning algorithms generate data for extensive and far-flung agricultural areas and forecast crops. The recommended crops are based on various factors such as weather conditions, soil analysis, and the amount of fertilizers and pesticides required. In the second stage, a transfer learning-based model for plant seedlings, pests, and plant leaf disease datasets is used to detect… More >

Abstract The requirement for high-quality seafood is a global challenge in today’s world due to climate change and natural resource limitations. Internet of Things (IoT) based Modern fish farming systems can significantly optimize seafood production by minimizing resource utilization and improving healthy fish production. This objective requires intensive monitoring, prediction, and control by optimizing leading factors that impact fish growth, including temperature, the potential of hydrogen (pH), water level, and feeding rate. This paper proposes the IoT based predictive optimization approach for efficient control and energy utilization in smart fish farming. The proposed fish farm control mechanism has a predictive optimization… More >

Abstract Data mining and analytics involve inspecting and modeling large pre-existing datasets to discover decision-making information. Precision agriculture uses data mining to advance agricultural developments. Many farmers aren’t getting the most out of their land because they don’t use precision agriculture. They harvest crops without a well-planned recommendation system. Future crop production is calculated by combining environmental conditions and management behavior, yielding numerical and categorical data. Most existing research still needs to address data preprocessing and crop categorization/classification. Furthermore, statistical analysis receives less attention, despite producing more accurate and valid results. The study was conducted on a dataset about Karnataka state,… More >

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and sensors have recently received significant interest in intellectual agriculture. Accelerating the application of AI technologies and agriculture sensors in intellectual agriculture is urgently required for the growth of modern agriculture and will help promote smart agriculture. Automatic irrigation scheduling systems were highly required in the agricultural field due to their capability to manage and save water deficit irrigation techniques. Automatic learning systems devise an alternative to conventional irrigation management through the automatic elaboration of predictions related to the learning of an agronomist. With this motivation, this study develops a modified black widow optimization with a… More >

Abstract Smart farming has become a strategic approach of sustainable agriculture management and monitoring with the infrastructure to exploit modern technologies, including big data, the cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Many researchers try to integrate IoT-based smart farming on cloud platforms effectively. They define various frameworks on smart farming and monitoring system and still lacks to define effective data management schemes. Since IoT-cloud systems involve massive structured and unstructured data, data optimization comes into the picture. Hence, this research designs an Information-Centric IoT-based Smart Farming with Dynamic Data Optimization (ICISF-DDO), which enhances the performance of the smart farming infrastructure… More >

Abstract Presently, precision agriculture processes like plant disease, crop yield prediction, species recognition, weed detection, and irrigation can be accomplished by the use of computer vision (CV) approaches. Weed plays a vital role in influencing crop productivity. The wastage and pollution of farmland's natural atmosphere instigated by full coverage chemical herbicide spraying are increased. Since the proper identification of weeds from crops helps to reduce the usage of herbicide and improve productivity, this study presents a novel computer vision and deep learning based weed detection and classification (CVDL-WDC) model for precision agriculture. The proposed CVDL-WDC technique intends to properly discriminate the… More >

Abstract In agricultural engineering, the main challenge is on methodologies used for disease detection. The manual methods depend on the experience of the personal. Due to large variation in environmental condition, disease diagnosis and classification becomes a challenging task. Apart from the disease, the leaves are affected by climate changes which is hard for the image processing method to discriminate the disease from the other background. In Cucurbita gourd family, the disease severity examination of leaf samples through computer vision, and deep learning methodologies have gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, a hybrid method based on Convolutional Neural Network… More >

Abstract One of the most critical objectives of precision farming is to assess the germination quality of seeds. Modern models contribute to this field primarily through the use of artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning, which present difficulties in feature extraction and optimization, which are critical factors in predicting accuracy with few false alarms, and another significant difficulty is assessing germination quality. Additionally, the majority of these contributions make use of benchmark classification methods that are either inept or too complex to train with the supplied features. This manuscript addressed these issues by introducing a novel ensemble classification strategy dubbed… More >

Abstract Smart irrigation system, also referred as precision irrigation system, is an attractive solution to save the limited water resources as well as to improve crop productivity and quality. In this work, by using Internet of things (IoT), we aim to design a smart irrigation system for olive groves. In such IoT system, a huge number of low-power and low-complexity devices (sensors, actuators) are interconnected. Thus, a great challenge is to satisfy the increasing demands in terms of spectral efficiency. Moreover, securing the IoT system is also a critical challenge, since several types of cybersecurity threats may pose. In this paper,… More >

Abstract Sensing the content of macronutrients in the agricultural soil is an essential task in precision agriculture. It helps the farmers in the optimal use of fertilizers. It reduces the cost of food production and also the negative environmental impacts on atmosphere and water bodies due to indiscriminate dosage of fertilizers. The traditional chemical-based laboratory soil analysis methods do not serve the purpose as they are hardly suitable for site specific soil management. Moreover, the spectral range used in the chemical-based laboratory soil analysis may be of 350–2500 nm, which leads to redundancy and confusion. Developing sensors based on the discovery of… More >
